Damaging specific parts of the vehicle will not update its overall damage value (as of v1.03):

player setHit ["hands", 0.9]; hint str (damage player); // will return 0

Direct use of the names of sections of the model is likely a bad practice, and will not work on some addons. So instead:
_MH60S setHit ["elektronika", _hit];
should be used:
_MH60S setHit [getText (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> "MH60S" >> "HitPoints" >> "HitAvionics" >> "name"), _hit];
